2. Eye cream

If you need to fake awake in a hurry, keeping your eye cream cool will help you score eight hours of sleep in one swipe. “Cold sensations reduce puffiness by increasing circulation, and have a soothing effect,” Bui says.

3. Vitamin C

Because vitamin C is structurally unstable, it needs to be kept away from sunlight and excess heat. If you can’t control the light or temperature in your bedroom or bathroom, store your pricey serums in the fridge.

4. Perfume

Constant exposure to sunlight, heat and humidity can cause scents to break down, which means your bathroom vanity isn’t the best place to store them. Keep your fragrances in the cool, dark environment of a fridge, though, and you’ll protect them from degradation.

5. Facial mist

Make the most of soothing facial sprays by keeping them cool. According to Bui, making them cold will help minimise redness and temporarily tighten your pores, which will leave you with a calmer and more even complexion.

6. Eye pencil

If your go-to look involves a sharp cat’s eye, do as make-up artists do and pop your pencil in the fridge. The low temps will cause it to harden, which will make it easier to sharpen and help create a more precise tip for application.

7. Nail polish

To prevent your polish from separating or turning gluggy, stick it in the fridge. High temperatures and sunlight can destabilise the formula, so keeping your varnish cool will ensure it goes on perfectly smooth.
